Metropolitan Board's 25th Anniversary Celebration

The Metropolitan Board is an auxiliary of the Chicago Urban League and a chapter of the National Urban League Young Professionals. Founded in 1983, the motivation behind MetroBoard is to identify young African American professionals and develop them into the future leaders of our community.

Since its inception, MetroBoard has grown to become a diverse organization of future leaders from all walks of life and places a high value in this distinction. The breadth of our award winning programs and events are a true testament to the great contributions of our most precious resource - our members.
